What happens when battery is charged?
Charging a battery reverses the chemical process that occurred during discharge. The electrical energy used to charge a battery is converted back to chemical energy and stored inside the battery. Battery chargers, including alternators and generators, produce a higher voltage than the battery’s open circuit voltage.
Why does my Car start slow with a new battery?
This is on a 1991 200 20Vt Car is acting like it has a dead battery during cranking. It had a hiccup or 2 the when I started it the 3 times before it became an issue; just took a couple extra cranks/cranked a little slower than normal, but I wasn’t too worried about it.
What’s the problem with starting a car slow?
Same problem right off the bat, slow cranking, but it did start at least. Let it run for a little bit and checked battery voltage with the car running and it was 13.8 volts, then 12.4 with the engine off. Restarted a number of times and it just cranks very slowly, but did start 5 or 6 times while I was poking around.
Can a bad starter motor cause the battery to get warm?
Corroded cable connections will be detected by low voltage at the cable ends. A bad starter motor will draw a high current and the battery cables will get warm to the touch. You have to get inside the ends of these new fangled side terminal battery cable ends to make sure they are free of corrosion.
Do you start from the battery or the NEG?
If so, start from the battery and clean up every connection pos and neg. Neg perhaps more importantly because the pos is connected via wire from battery to starter more or less directly.

Why does a car not start with a broken starter?
Your starter is vital to your car because it is responsible for starting the engine. The battery sends it a jolt of electricity, which the starter uses to turn the engine over and get it to start. A broken starter will make a clicking sound when you turn the key. The car won’t start, but the dash lights are on.
